Ingredients

8 ounces small red potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
½ medium onion, chopped
½ red or green bell pepper, chopped
6 ounces store-bought vegan sausage links, cut into ¼-inch slices
1 pound extra-firm tofu, drained, pressed, and cut into 1/2-inch dice
6 ounces Swiss chard, stemmed and chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
Juice of ½ lemon
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon salt
Pinch ground cayenne

Instructions

Steam the potatoes over a pot of boiling water until fork tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and cook 6 to 8minutes, until they begin to turn to brown. Reduce the heat to medium if the potatoes get too dark, then transfer to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes. Add the pepper and sausage and cook 2 minutes, or until the pepper starts to soften and the sausage begins to brown.
Add the tofu, chard, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until the tofu begins to turn golden.
Add the yeast, lemon juice, herbs, salt, and cayenne. Cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. If the mixture is dry, add a splash of water. Add the reserved potatoes to the tofu mixture and cook another 5 minutes. Serve immediately
